Attribute Meaning
System Name A name for the link. Spaces are not allowed, so use
underscores instead.
End Location The location of the link end. Spaces are not allowed, so use
underscores instead.
Link Name
(ESSID)
A link can only be established between units that have
identical Link Names.
Link Name may consist of letters (A-Z and a-z), numbers (0-9)
and the following special characters (no spaces):
(),-.,:<=>[]_{}
Range (km) The link range. The value must not be less than the actual
distance between the link ends.
Master/Slave
Mode
Each link consists of one ‘Master’ and one ‘Slave’ unit. The
Master is used to control and maintain the point-to-point link.
The Master transmits until the link is made, while the Slave
listens for its Master and only transmits when the Master has
been identified.
As all units are shipped with a default setting of ‘Slave’, one
unit in the link must be reset to ‘Master’.
Channel Width Width (MHz) of the radio channel used by this link. The
selection depends upon the frequency variant and country of
operation. This can only be updated at the Master unit.
Band The frequency band (GHz) in which this link operates.
This can only be updated at the Master unit.
Channel Selection The channel (MHz) in which this link operates. This can only
be updated at the Master unit.
If Channel Width is set to 40 MHz, then each tick box selects
two 20 MHz channels: the first is Current Channel and the
second is Extended Channel.
Antenna Gain Gain (dBi) of the antenna that is connected to this unit. See
Antenna specifications on page 4-14.
